The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[BamaChicken]

Alton those jubilees have really good tpye. The comb can be fixed with the right hen.
I look forward to seeing the reds completely grown.

I was up late due to getting home late but was to sleepy to get online for more than a min and then the computer/laptop ran out of juice..

Well Nellie, it is hard to follow your pics of the Partridge. That is one gorgeous rooster. But, I wanted to show these Orps again. I took the first 3 pics today. This is that special rooster from Bryce (Thanks Bryce) and black hens from Marc (Thanks Marc). I am expecting 4 chicks in a few days. I'm hoping to get that one out of 4 chocolate pullet. Either way, the blacks from these will be a treasure to me. This boy really has a lot of fluff below. I call him "Saddle Bags".

Edit: By special, I mean chocolate split rooster directly from an imported egg (Sandy in UK). He has a lot of potential. It makes me want to start showing. I just love the dark face on Marc's hens.

I posted this pic before. I'm reposting to show the dark face that I mentioned. Perhaps, it is more noticeable in person. I can't wait to see this size and type in Chocolate.

Congratulations! Glad she did so well for you.

Yes she did.

That's great! I read a couple of opinion piece things about the "English type" orpington being a passing fad and every judge needed to disqualify them for some reason. I want to show, and I prefer the import type so I am Glad to see your doing well.
